A surprising number of posts I read on the MCU Facebook page and on the MCU Subreddit seemed to be fine either way. Some even explicitly wanted the Amazing version in the MCU.

I don't think the ASM spidey is "bad", just the movies themselves!

The thing is, I did not even dislike the movies. In fact I liked them better than the Raimi trilogy. Although that may be because I just can't stand Tobey Maguire. Garfield did it for me as Peter and as Spiderman

I want the Amazing Spiderman to be separate from the MCU only for continuitys sake. Not hating on Sonys movies or something like that.

I liked both the Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man movies, but I think Tobey was the better Peter while Garfield was the better Spider-Man. Tobey's Spider-Man was too quiet, and awkwardly stiff while moving and fighting and Garfield's Peter just never seemed all that intelligent or geeky. Neither movie really handled villain bloat very well.

Raimi's Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man movie and anyone who disagrees with my opinion is wrong.

While I'll agree the "Spider-Jesus" thing was a bit over the top, the rest of that sequence was ******* awesome.

One thing that bothers me about all this about the movies and the characters... X-men, Spider-man, and the Marvel groups are all forced to be separate in the movies. But then I turn on the TV on the weekends and I see:

Since Bacon Cumbersome has been confirmed, there's a void in need of filling when it comes to random speculation and rumorizing the Dr Strange movie. Next up is The Ancient One. I still say I'd like James Hong.

Excluding multiverse, alternate plainsplanes of existence, and counterfeits Eye of Agamotto is a unique macguffin. There's an Orb of Agamotto, which also* showed up briefly in the Thor movie for whatever reason.

* Didn't mean to make it sound like it was unique to the movie. The Orb is essentially a crystal ball in the books.

Strange (hah!). I could have sworn that in the early comics the eye was a round pendant thingie, and at some point he got a different one that was square with a round insert that the eye actually rested in. Maybe just an artwork change? Dunno.
